I just find it ironic that before ZFS I kept hearing of people wanting group quotas rather than user quotas. Now that we have ZFS group quotas are easy - quota the filesystem and ensure only that group can write to it - but now the focus is back on user quotas again ;-) -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
